Buying & applying a license

  1. Buy an annual Enterprise subscription on the pricing page. You’ll receive a signed license key by email.
  2. Apply it one of three ways:
    • Installer: pass --license-key <jwt|file> to the install command (or answer the wizard’s license step). The key is verified offline before anything is written and lands in the generated .env. You can also check a key any time without installing: curl -fsSL https://nugetkeep.com/install | bash -s -- license <key-or-file> prints the edition, customer, and expiry.
    • Admin UI: Administration → License → paste the key → Activate. Features unlock immediately, no restart.
    • Environment: set NUGETKEEP_LICENSE_KEY to the key (this wins over the UI and is read-only there) — ideal for declarative / air-gapped deploys.
  3. Confirm: the License page shows Enterprise, the five premium features show Unlocked, and the “Community edition” banner disappears.

Renewals email you a new key each year; paste the new key the same way. The key is stored at NuGetKeep:LicensePath (default /data/license.jwt) when applied via the UI.
